OPINION

A spokesman said: Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller where nothing is as what it seems.

In this mind-bending narrative set in the early 1990s, a shadowy force has infiltrated the U.S. government and players will be forced to go rogue for the first time.

Were also getting a new Doom game for the first time in years called The Dark Ages.

A sequel to the last title from 2016, it puts players behind the visor of the mighty Slayer as they battle demonic hordes in grounded, hard-hitting combat inside an epic, cinematic tale of gods, kings and monsters.

We got a better look at the much teased new Fable title coming next year and a new reveal in the Gears of War franchise.

Called E-Day it is the next mainline game in the Gears universe, set during the pivotal Emergence Day.

Fourteen years before Gears of War, war heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago return home to face a new nightmare: the Locust Horde. These subterranean monsters, grotesque and relentless, erupt from below, laying siege on humanity itself, a spokesman said.

There was a new trailer for the impressive looking Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which comes to console later this year, with day one availability on the Game Pass subscription service.

In fact most of these games will be available to play in full on their launch days on the Netflix-style game streaming service.

We also got a first gameplay look at Assassins Creed Shadows, which launches on November 15.

It gives players a chance to explore 16th Century Japan as Naoe, an adept shinobi from the province of Iga; and Yasuke, a powerful samurai and Assassins Creeds first fully playable historical figure.

There were also reveals for a new Dragon age game from Electronic Arts, zombie fighter State of Decay 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater, which serves as an intuitive introduction to the beginning of the Metal Gear Solid saga as they step into the boots of Snake in a high-stakes, espionage thriller.

Jerret West, of Xbox, said: The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 showed players everywhere that they have a ton of games to look forward to.

Fans of Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, Xbox Game Studios, or the countless partners building for Xbox were treated to a peek at whats coming for their favourite franchises and new games alike.
